Joyce Manor – Constant Headache Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I could hear you coming, so I hid by the couch
You were talking so loudly, I don’t know what about
But you were drunker than high school, self-conscious and sweet
I never ever felt so cool disguised in your sheets

[Chorus]
But I’m a constant headache, a tooth out of line
They try to make you regret it
You tell ’em, “No, not this time.”
I’m just a constant headache, a dead pet device
You hang me up unfinished
With the better part of me no longer mine

[Verse 2]
And then you finally found me, pretending to sleep
You said such nice things about me, I felt guilty and cheap
You took two steps to the kitchen and just stared at the sink
I couldn’t hold back a smile, I still wish I could have seen
You having sex in the morning, your love was foreign to me
It made me think maybe human’s not such a bad thing to be
But I just laid there in protest, entirely fucked
It’s such a stubborn reminder one perfect night’s not enough

[Chorus]
It’s just a constant headache, a tooth out of line
They try to make you regret it
You tell ’em, “No, not this time.”
It’s just a constant headache, a dead pet device
You hang me up unfinished
With the better part of me no longer mine
